DO WE EACH HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL GUARDIAN ANGEL?

In Matthew 18:10 Jesus tells us that the angels of children always see the face of God and, in Hebrews 1:14, we learn that the angels serve those who will inherit salvation. Even before that, Psalm 91:11 advises that God commands his angels to guard us; however, in Revelations 22:8-9, we are reminded to be careful not to pray to or worship angels. I can find no evidence in the Bible that we have individual guardian angels. Perhaps the risk of having guardian angels would be a tendency to develop a spiritual relationship with them; a relation that must be reserved for God.

ANGELS

Continuing with 1st Peter verses 10 through 12. We discussed angels. Verse 12  states "Even angels long to look into these things." It would seem that angels don't get to know everything that is going on; what is their role? They are clearly agents of God and the word literally means messenger; see Matthew 22:30 "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." There are seven archangels, like Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and others and then there was Lucifer, the fallen angel who is held by some to have been the greatest of the angels until he rebelled against God. Angels is a big subject. Hope we have more time to discuss them; any suggestions or other input would be welcome.
